However, when Mega's attacks were on fire, Heungkuk Life had no answer.

The fierce battle in the fifth set tilted in favor of Heungkuk Life as Jung Kwan Jang's foreign duo was blocked.

Kim Su-ji's targeted serve towards Bukilić hit its mark, and Jeong Yun-ju perfectly timed a block against Mega's attack.

Then, Kim Yeon-koung's reception of Mega's powerful spike led to a score, allowing Heungkuk Life to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory and solidify their top position.
